The 3D catalog: game boxes on wooden shelves, with the cat sitting at the counter next to its greeting.

The catalog in 3D

The same catalog has a room you can walk around in. The cat behind the counter is the AI Catbot, and they pick real games from it when you tell them what you feel like playing. Nothing is for sale, here or in there. Go in from here and this game is already out on the counter, with more like it waiting on the shelf next to it.

How it feels

A stripped-down, fast-paced first-person shooter that feels like a pure skill challenge, demanding laser focus on small targets within procedurally generated mazes.

What players say

Players describe it as a free experimental FPS with minimalist vector graphics and procedural levels. It is short with 10 levels, but some say it lacks a tutorial and that the second level is buggy or too hard.
